Our mission to find a bigger vehicle is an on going battle however we have figured out a few options on what we want to pursue.
Option one: a school bus, though it’s nice to have lots of space so make larger transports most buses don’t heat the rear and our initial investment wouldn’t cover cost of retro fitting it within a good time frame.
Option two: an old ambulance, yes they have the room but most ambulances now don’t allow the driver to get to the back if they need to. Would also have to gut it from all medical units.
Option three: a mail man truck, lots of space, driver can walk to the back no problem, easy to install permanent kennel (the ones you see at the vet), lost of space but not too much space.
Each of these options comes with pros and cons of their own. We have been looking more at the mail trucks. There is one close to us that right now is priced at $12,900. We did talk to the owner of the place it’s at and if I can raise enough money to make a decent offer he would bring the price down. There is also one up for auction March 28th in Saskatoon at PBR auction house.
The demand for transports is outrageous! This coming weekend alone with 2 drivers we are looking at about 60 animals. There are many more requests than what we can fill with just our minivan. Right now we have only $2000 for a vehicle however if anyone wants to help us fundraise to help towards a larger vehicle we would greatly appreciate the help. We will be launching a fundraiser soon.
